Things You'll Need:
- Juice pouches
- Candy wrappers
- Water
- Clear packing tape
- Clear vinyl fabric (optional)
- Sewing machine (optional)
-
Step 1
Check to ensure that the juice pouches are completely empty of contents and the candy wrappers do not contain any remnants of candy.
-
Step 2
Rinse the pouches and wrappers under running water to remove any remaining sugar or debris.
-
Step 3
Decide what you would like to make with your pouches and/or wrappers. A handbag will require fewer juice pouches than candy wrappers, and a curtain will require more of either material.
Pouches, wallets and other fashion accessories are popular choices for projects. -
Step 4
Sandwich your pouches or wrappers between two layers of clear packing tape, with the sticky sides of the tape facing inwards towards your materials. This creates a sheet of fabric from your chosen crafting items that you can then tape further to create the shape needed for your project.
A wallet, for example, would require a rectangle of material. To create a simple wallet, simply create a rectangle twice as long as you will need. Fold it in half, and tape the two shortest sides together, leaving a long opening for the top of the wallet. -
Step 5
Instead of using clear tape, you can also quilt your pouches or wrappers between layers of clear vinyl. Use a sewing machine to sew around each wrapper or pouch, creating a durable, textured fabric for use in crafting.
For example, to create a juice pouch curtain, you would sandwich each individual juice pouch between the vinyl fabric, securing the pouches in their own pouches of the vinyl fabric created by lines of stitching.
